✦ 01・WHAT IS KOIBITO?

Koibito is a special relationship status earned through Karuta's affection and proposal system.

  • Koibito belongs to the character, not an individual card.
  • Only one player can hold a character's Koibito position at a time.
  • Becoming Koibito grants visit access to cards of that character, even if you weren't their original grabber.
✦

◈ 02・COMPETING FOR KOIBITO

Multiple players can pursue the same character, making Koibito a competitive relationship.

  • Players build their own Affection Rating (AR) with the character.
  • Players compete for the Koibito position through proposals.
  • Other players may challenge the current Koibito, so the position isn't necessarily permanent.

You can check the current Koibito and other players' AR and AP through the character leaderboard.

⌖ 03・KOIBITO BENEFITS & MANAGEMENT

Being a character's Koibito provides additional relationship privileges.

  • Visit Access: Interact with cards of that character regardless of their original grabber.
  • Special Interactions: Access Koibito-related features through the visit system.
  • Relationship Management: Monitor your relationship and competition through affection information and leaderboards.
Important

Koibito status applies to the character as a whole, not just the card used to establish the relationship.
